Introduce the traditional food of northerners at the vernal equinox and solar terms.

There is a custom in old Beijing. Eating snowballs at the vernal equinox can ward off evil spirits and pray. There is no doubt that taking soybean as the main raw material, supplemented by red bean paste, sugar, sesame oil, osmanthus fragrans, green shredded pork and melon seeds as fillings, not only has rich taste, but also has diversified ingredients. It should be noted that snowballs are sticky, so old people and children should pay attention when eating them. They should not eat too fast to avoid blocking the esophagus and causing danger.

2. Sun cakes.

Sun cakes, step by step. Eating sun cakes at the vernal equinox is also the vernal equinox custom in old Beijing. On the vernal equinox, you should worship the sun god and "please" eat sun cakes. Sun cake is not only a tribute of the vernal equinox, but also a seasonal food, which means "the sun is high". Sun cakes are made of glutinous rice and stuffing. Glutinous rice has the function of warming the body, and the stuffing of sweet jujube paste also conforms to the health concept of saving acid and sweetening in spring. Eating sun cakes in moderation during the spring equinox and solar terms is conducive to regulating the balance of body functions and adapting to the changes of solar terms.

3. Spring cakes.

People in many places have the custom of eating spring cakes.

Eating spring cakes is indispensable to the unique side dishes of spring cakes-and vegetables. The so-called harmony vegetables are shredded with seasonal vegetables (such as leeks, bean sprouts, dried mushrooms, etc.). ), or mix or fry. If mixed, blanch the bean sprouts with water, cook the dried vermicelli, hook it with starch, vinegar and soy sauce to make juice, and mix the shredded vegetables with the juice. Stir-frying means putting shredded pork, shredded egg skin, mung bean sprouts, dried bean curd, soaked vermicelli, spinach or leek into a pot and frying until cooked.
